Ukraine must increase the production of its own weapons to the maximum extent, in particular air defense systems.
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky announced this in his Telegram channel, commenting on the results of the next meeting of the Headquarters.
“Financing of interceptors, production volume, agreements with our partners – everything is regularly monitored by the Ministry of Defense and the military command, and it is necessary to increase production as much as possible. Separately, small and medium-sized air defense range. This is what is needed both for the front and for the protection of energy facilities,” the president noted.
According to him, domestic production of weapons is a guarantee of protection. “Ukrainians should not depend on whether they can find something on the world market or in the warehouses of partners. Production tasks must be completed on time, personal responsibility for this at all levels,” Zelensky said.
The head of state noted that the army’s needs for air defense systems have been updated, and in connection with this, production will be increased. “The relevant tasks must be completed on time – there will be personal responsibility for this at all levels,” Zelensky said.
